CHIP Tuscaloosa

Chip is the original gourmet cookie delivery company. The idea was born out of

and cravings for warm gooey chocolate chip cookies in the middle of the night were a frequent occurrence. Instead of just baking cookies, Sean went to work on a business plan that would deliver warm, gourmet cookie directly to your door. As a family they have built chip cookies out of love and a desire to deliver happiness, one cookie at a time.
